BNA U.S. Law Week is a weekly publication that reports summaries of new decisions from state, federal, and administrative courts, and reports on new legislative and regulatory developments. Circuit splits are featured by topic, case name, and summary of the disputed issue. This publication can be accessed from the Library’s Quick Links menu while at the law school or while connected through the proxy server from an off-campus location.
